I just found out that I am officially a boat owner again.....

But just like the Captain......I still need to find an engine.

Is that an '83, or the ugraded 1984 model year with the mahogany inlay & rubber anti-scuff foot protectors.

I think I have a brochure for that particular table in my attic. ;)

...then an enterprising boat builder realised how the hull form would be suitable for a RIB conversion...

This is a cool idea, let's do a modern version of it in the summer. How many hp do we need to get it on the plane, would 4hp be enough do ya reckon?

Cool, even better idea than the baby cougar's!!
So we need a pair of 4-8 hp engines, and probably make the tables ourselves.

I 've heard it all now!:bang: :bang:

A couple of years ago me n me mates thought what can we make to tow behind the boat as we were bored with wakeboarding, skiing etc. So i made a 1m circular board coated with a layer of glass n flo-coated it. We named it the "DOJO" board, we mastered it eventually but when you fell off it would torpedo itself under water and return in a boomerang effect:aaahhh: which if you werent quite quick enough it nearly decapitated ya:bang: :well:

This year we are going to fix an old pair of skis to a dining room chair.............!

Hey we could have the dining table towing a skier on the dining chair............now that wouldbe good footage!:jaw:

OK, how about a competition. 4hp 2 stroke johnrude motas. Whoever can make the fastest table, must be capable of seating 6 ashore.
